I had way too much fun with these adorable girls. We hit it off right away and they even invited me to dinner! Allison and Madeline are around the same age as my boys. Allison, the 5 year old, told me many interesting stories. Madeline, the 3 year old, had all the energy expected of a 3 year old and she had some lungs on her! She could’ve won the world record for loudest scream! I hope to hang out with this family for many years to come!

Love love love these kids. I can’t believe I was at the hospital when Ysa, the oldest, was born. Michael still held back his real smile, but warmed up quicker then last year, and Charlotte was the entertainment! She wants a dog for Christmas momma!! haaha!

Little Finn…..What a perfect little human being. I am so happy for the growing Allie Family! Cayden was such a sweet big brother. He was so gentle and loving and had a natural smile when he was close to his baby. Finn’s nursery was the CUTEST!! In fact their entire house was adorable! Might have to hire Alicia to decorate my house someday;)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Vanessa and Jason were such a joy to work with. They said their vows at Reflections at the Buttes.
Vanessa’s smile lit up every room she entered. This crowd really new how to party! Their cake was made by Nadine’s Bakery, flowers by Everygreen Flowers, and amazing second shooting by Angelina Ulibarri.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I met Kim a few years ago at a wedding I was shooting and she was coordinating. Her and her hubby Mike… (and I) have been wishing and praying for this little miracle to enter their lives for so long. Sophia was about 4 weeks early when Kim and Mike got the call that they were going to be parents! They waited a very long time to hear those words. Sophia is so very blessed to have 2 adoptive parents that will love and cherish her like their own and Mike and Kim are just as blessed

to have this sweet angel in their lives. They deserve it so very much.

Pretty blue dresses, ring around the rosy, hugs, and tickles! Every year I look forward to seeing this wonderful family. I have watched Ava, June, and Scarlett grow up, change, and develop such adorable personalities. Each one very different from each other! Here are a few of my favs.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about this couple. From the beginning of their relationship, I heard such a beautiful song sung by Anthony about this woman who flipped his world right side up. The stars aligned, the moon grew and the universe did it once again. Two souls destined to meet. These two are the proud parents of 5 beautiful, funny, and talented kiddos. They do it all! I look forward to all Kasey’s (StillGlamorous) makeup, fashion, and life tutorials on YouTube and I’m so excited to see Anthony, one of my favorite tattoo artists, kick ass on the upcoming season of Ink Masters.

Beautiful job AS ALWAYS Mrs. Katie McClain from Posh Petals for Kasey’s Boquet. And a big thank you to Justin Pang for assisting!! Always appreciated!

Here are some highlights from this magical day!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So very happy for these two love birds! They are planning a wedding in January and I cannot wait! They’re the sweetest couple and we had such a fun time despite the attack bees, hurricane winds, and having to 4 wheel it up the mountain in our non-hiking shoes! They were troopers:)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It’s been such a joy watching these girls grow up into the sweetest and absolutely hilarious human beings. They had me cracking up with their amazing expressions and sweet dance moves. I feel super blessed that they chose me to document their family!

 

I got to see this adorable family twice within a couple weeks! Once for Alec’s newborn pics and this time for some outdoor family pics! Ava had a great time dancing in the grass, throwing leaves and picking berries. I also caught a lot of beautiful Ava smiles, but I am in love with her serious face too!
